New York, specifically New York City, is an incredibly vegan-friendly place to visit. From vegan restaurants, to markets, to pop-up shops and other events, NYC has a lot to offer. The best transportation options are walking and taking the subway, since it stops all over the city. There is plenty to do aside from enjoying all the food including visiting landmarks and museums, seeing shows, and strolling through Central Park. There is a great vegan community in NYC, so it helps to reach out via meetups and online if you’re looking for recommendations. It also isn’t a bad idea to reach out to local vegans for lodging, especially if you are traveling on a budget.

The videos and blogs on this page were contributed by members of our vegan community who recently traveled to New York and graciously shared their travel experiences. Follow your fellow vegan travelers as they explore New York compassionately, meet local vegans and other vegan travelers, and share the amazing vegan food they find during their travels! They share the sites they visited, the places they stayed at, vegan shops they found, and the sites and activities they enjoyed during their time in New York. Some also visit animal sanctuaries in the countries they travel to and kindly share the stories of the animals they meet. Join our vegan community and share your travel adventures with our global vegan community and collectively we can show the world how easy it is to be vegan and travel compassionately.
